What a lovely motorcycle and it sure is nice to see that big giant smile on Todd’s face there! You have every right to be proud of your creations.
Most wonderful is that you look like your back surgery and recovery has been successful. This is fantastic news indeed. I hope your back health improves daily and stays healthy for you throughout your life!
Oh and guys, stop judging what others do or how they ride or what gear, etc…
It’s a parking lot movement, nothing more. Todd is a former professional racer; an expert rider.
He’s no squid and no amateur.
Besides, motorcycling is about individual freedom. Live and let live!
Sorry Todd, but I also have an issue with your riding attire. Blue Suede Birkenstock's would be a better match with your signature hat. Old dog, new tricks.
Well Tod, I would start by classing and dividing your range into Italian feminine and masculine.
The two valve bikes perhaps feminine and the more powerful four valve bikes as masculine.
And personally I would keep away from the major God pathonon and stick with the road less travelled - local myths and folk lore from your families area.
The rest is highly subjective but if you are Italian, using Italian products and turning them into mythical bikes then why not follow that theme?
The feminine "Bellona" "Tempestes" and the masculine "Typhon" "Triton" come to mind.
Chris.
Going on record that Elvis will not be treated as a "Garage King." This photo is from my first ride. My only complaint is, it's difficult to stop for a quick fill-up due to the number of people coming up and asking questions about the bike! Thanks Todd!
